3. Once all the fastener holes
have been identied, secure
one of the upper frame
corners by placing a screw
through the frame. A shim
is required at each screw
location to prevent frame
deection.
NOTE: Shims should be
cut back 1/4" - 1/2" from
the interior face of the
main window frame.
4. Inspect the window for
square, level, plumb and twist
(Reference the Product
Installation Tolerance Table).
5. Repeat the steps above for
each remaining pre-drilled
screw hole. NOTE: If
installing screws in the
sill, apply sealant to the
screw threads and the
head of the screw in the
window frame (use more
sealant as necessary to
completely seal the screw
head to the frame).
6. Insert dust plugs into screw
clearance holes not located
in any operation track(s).
Replace any removed
components (e.g. track ller, sash, etc.).
7. For products with a rating of PG 50 or WZ3-Impact refer to “Special
Fastening Requirements”.
8. Once the window is secured proceed to Section 6 – Install Drip Cap.
B.) INSTALLATION CLIP:
1. If clips have not already been applied, use a pencil or tape to mark
screw locations on the window frame as dened in the “Fastener
Location Table”.
2. Snap Installation clips into
the “interior” accessory
groove at each pre-
determined screw location.
NOTE: Clips cannot be used
on windows with applied
jamb extension or along
the bottom if a rigid sill pan
is utilized. In such cases
through frame fastening is
recommended.
3. Secure one of the upper
frame corners by placing a
screw through the install
clip. Drive screws until the
screw head is ush with clip.
A shim is required behind
each clip to prevent
deection.
